4 GB Ram is not supported
You may find that your computer is able to support a physical
installation of 4 GB or more memory. However, this maximum memory may be further limited by the operating system not being able to address the full range of physical memory. For 32-bit operating systems, Windows Vista and XP 32-bit editions can address approximately 3.3 GB. This limitation is present on all 32-bit hardware and 32-bit operating systems "Achim" wrote in message ...

... Try looking for a memory remap option in your bios I've got that option in my bios and I didn't set it to enable because I am dual booting XP 32bit and Vista 64bit so wasn't sure if setting that to enable would screw up XP or not. There was also an option to allow the OS to allocate hardware instead of the bios so set it to OS and I see all 4gb in Vista64. |
